Where was I? Oh yes I also got "Mirrors Within Mirrors" by Michael Phillips. It's a very interesting piece of work. It goes from a thrashy song then a very progressive sounding song then back to thrashy then an all acoustic song. Very very interesting and bizarre.
I selected "Bridging the Gap Between Heart and Mind" from I Built the Cross. Let me tell you, this is some extremely crushingly brutal Christian death metal. I think its on the edge of becoming goregrind. The technicality of it is very tasty. It opens up with a narration from a bunch of different speakers, then the roar/growl/scream comes in a furious attack from the vocalist as he shouts, "Were not going anywhere!". It get's you're blood moving. Just super brutal!

I wanted to check out the band Vengeance Rising so I got the album "Destruction Comes". It's thrash/death metal. I think all the songs sorta sound the same. I like the riff they use but I can't listen to it over and over and over again. If it wasn't 2 bucks I probably wouldn't have gotten it. Although they did send me some neat stickers of their other albums covers.
Taking a drastic step to the other side of metal I got Venia's "Victory by Surrender". It's female fronted Swedish power metal. It's okay but I don't think I'd listen to it that often. It's more of an every once in awhile album.
So that's everything I bought, but then I get an email from DMD saying I get to select any digital download for free. Sweet! I'm thinking I get to chose one song but as I go to the site and read further I find out I get an entire album for free. YAY! It was tough decision. I finally narrowed it down to 2 albums, one from the old school death metal band Morbid Sacrifice and the progressive Israeli band Edgend. I ended up getting the latter's album called "New Identity". It's good and true to what the description says, "Think Dio meets Symphony X.". It's better than the albums I paid for haha! Defiantly check these guys out!
Before I forget again I downloaded an album off of Itunes a few weeks ago and forgot to mention it here. The band Teramaze released their new album "Anhedonia" for $6 on Itunes. For those of you who don't know Teramze is a more rocky and not so progressive (Although prog elements are defiantly there) version of Dream Theater and I believe that are Christian but I am not 100% on that fact. Over all the album has some great riffs and time changes. If you like Dream Theater you might like these guys.
That's it for now. Until next time......Keep it Metal \m/
